Movie viewer lashes out at mom whose child is accidentally in her seat during Despicable Me showing

1 month ago 15

A Connecticut movie-goer was caught on camera lashing out at a mother whose child was mistakenly in her reserved seat.

Erin Walton took to TikTok to share the unhinged scene at the Cinemark Buckland Hill in Manchester over the weekend that apparently only ended when local police arrived at the scene.

Her video shows an unidentified woman, wearing a red t-shirt emblazoned with the words Bread Box Theater, apparently getting in Walton's face because her son was sitting in the wrong recliner.

'Assaulted at the new Despicable Me movie with my kids because my son was in her seat,' Walton wrote in the caption.

'Easy quick fix, but the Bread Box Theater associate wouldn't give us a  moment #DespicableIndeed.'

It is unclear from the footage what exactly led to the woman confronting Walton.

The footage just begins with the woman trying to swat the camera out of her hands as she starts filming - and Walton shoving the woman in response.

'Don't take my phone, are you crazy?' she asks the woman. 

Soon a boy enters the frame and apparently tries to pull the woman away as she comes face-to-face with Walton once again.

'I asked you to take a step back, you're being rude and disrespectful,' the mother says, before the boy leads the woman away.

Walton then asks her son for his ticket and confirms they are in the wrong seat.

She then starts moving her son and daughter down the row, but not before telling the woman: 'Take some decorum, that's all it takes is some decorum.'

The woman seems to take the comment harshly, putting her hands on her hips as she said, 'I was talking to you -'

But Walton cuts her off, saying, 'Don't you do that, I am a grown a** woman, You are not my mother.'

After Walton resettles her children, the woman once again condescendingly comments that they are a 'wonderful family.'

That seems to prompt both women to head into the lobby to complain - with Walton telling a theater staffer she wants to speak with a manager and asking to get cops involved.

'You're going to press charges?' the woman asks, incredulously. 'You're the one that pushed me.'

'Most definitely,' Walton responds.

She later posted a follow-up video showing cops at the theater, and claiming that the woman was cited for disorderly conduct and public disturbance.

'She was removed and ticketed,' Walton wrote of her assailant.

Movie theater sources have since confirmed to DailyMail.com that the woman was also escorted out of the building and banned from the theater. 

DailyMail.com has reached out to the Manchester Police Department and Walton for comment.

Meanwhile, the Bread Box Theater has issued a statement saying that the woman in the video is 'in no way involved with, or a part of, our organization.

'We are a fundraising branch of the Covenant Soup Kitchen, raising money by having concerts,' the organization explained on Facebook. 

'For 15 years, we have volunteered our time and energy to help to feed those in need. In that time, we raised over $265,000.

'As part of our mission, we sell Bread Box t-shirts at our concerts. Those funds also support CSK.

'There is no way that we can control the behavior of those who buy shirts, nor do we condone the behavior of the person in this video,' the founders of the organization wrote.

They added that they are asking the public to 'continue to support our mission to help curb food insecurity in our community.'
